I stepped down half-a-size to Asics Kayano and haven't noticed a problem after about 150 miles.

Haha I saw this topic and thought it was something I made. Lookie here at my Asics kayano's after a month of use!

That's it!! -same shoe and all!
I've noticed that somewhere around mile 225, my big toe has bored a hole in top of my left shoe.....It's pretty much only netting, though I'm wondering a couple of things:1. Is this normal?if not:2. Is this a shoe issue or a foot issueI feel i've got another hundred miles or so left in my current pair, but am wondering if this is a sign to replace. Has anyone had a similar problem with their running shoes and/or Kayanos.

Late-comer to this thread. I have a similar hole but further up on my Kayano 14s in the direction of my leg. Don't get me started on the 15s.
It's normal for Kayanos, it seems. You're probably fine. Kayanos are not . They're going on my goat's hind legs.
I gave up on Asics ...Pearl Izumis rock - I just bought my 6th pair. I'm just retiring the oldest pair, at 360 miles, and they still look good.
Overall, how would you compare the PI's to the Asics 2130s you were running in?

My Asics 2140 get holes in the left big toe--I love the shoe though, so I don't want to give it up It is not as bad as your shoe though!
On a side note, I checked out your profile and I am a teacher in Bergen county too!
Both big toes bidding for freedom here in GT 2100, 2120, 2130 and both pairs of 2140. Hole never gets big enough before about 400 miles (the lawn threshold) to affect the shoes performance (in my pretty amateur opinion).
I have always put it down to the fact that I have seriously out of proportion big toes!

That is the hole that you are supposed to put your foot through.
Try Altras they have much more room out front.

Old thread, but if anyone is left listening....
all of my trainers do this - I play a lot of racket sports too.
my local running store told me I have weak shin muscles and that I should try picking up a pencil with my toes whilst watching tv in evenings. I don't think it was April 1st..
not tried it but who knows?
I love running - after the event...

Every pair of Asics I have ever owned had a big toe hole in the right foot.
Same thing happened to my Mizuno Wave Sayonora's, Saucony Mirage 3's and one starting on my Mizuno Wave Riders. I attribute it to the toenail on my big toe which points up slightly and not being kept short enough.
